- the display apparatus 14 and the receiving apparatus 15 may be integrated with the print server 1 .
- the print server 1 may be included in the printer 2 .
- FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram illustrating the print server 1 .
- the print server 1 includes a first receiving unit 101 , a second receiving unit 102 , and an updating unit 103 .
- the first receiving unit 101 receives an item included in a currently displayed list.
- the second receiving unit 102 receives a setting of search criteria. If the item satisfies the search criteria that are set after the item is selected, the updating unit 103 updates the display of the list to display search results obtained under the search criteria and to maintain a state that the item is selected. Specific examples of processes that are implemented by this configuration are described, below.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a list displaying process performed by the print server 1 .
- the information processing apparatus handles as a target of the list displaying process a variety of lists output by the information processing apparatus.
- the target of the list displaying process is a list of print commands stored on a spooler, for example.
- Each of the print commands included in the list is an example of an item included in the list.
- An application program describing the list displaying process is installed on the print server 1 .
- the controller 11 in the print server 1 performs the following operations in accordance with the application program.
- the controller 11 updates the display of the list. This operation is described in detail below.
- step S 01 of a first round after the start of the list displaying process operations in step S 02 and subsequent steps are not yet performed.
- the controller 11 generates a list that includes the print commands stored on the spooler and arranged in the order specified in an initial setting (for example, the order of time and date according to which the print server 1 starts receiving each of the print commands), and causes the display apparatus 14 to display the list.
- step S 01 of a second round thereafter of the list displaying process the controller 11 updates the display of the list in response to the results of operations in step S 02 and subsequent steps,
- FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a displayed list. Specifically, FIG. 5 illustrates a display example in step S 01 of the first round subsequent to the start of the list displaying process, namely, illustrates a state before the user selects a print command.
- Each of the print commands stored on the spooler is associated with information, such as an “identifier (ID)”, “job name”, “size”, “reception start time and date”, “copy count”, and “number of pages of an original document” (hereinafter referred to as related information). Contents of the list actually displayed are the related information.
- ID is an identifier unique to each of the print commands.
- the “job name” is a name attached to each print command.
- the “size” is an amount of data of each print command.
- the “reception start time and date” is time and date on which the print server 1 starts receiving the print command.
- a display area for 14 items is provided. If the number of print commands that is too many to fit into the display area is included in the list, print commands falling within the display area, starting with the top print command in the list, are displayed first ( 14 items in this example), and the remaining print commands are displayed by scrolling the screen.
- the screen may be scrolled using a scroll bar or a wheel of a mouse.
- the controller 11 stores the ID of the selected print command onto the RAM. More specifically, the controller 11 extracts the print command selected from the displayed list. The user may select the print command using the receiving apparatus 15 (a mouse, a touchpad, a touchpanel, a curuor key of a keyboard, or a return key of the keyboard). The controller 11 receives the information indicating the selected print command (an example of the first receiving unit 101 ). The controller 11 attaches to the selected print command an appearance different from that of the unselected print command. The controller 11 stores, in an associated form on the RAM, the ID of the selected print command and information (order information) indicating the order according to which the ID is selected subsequent to the start of the list displaying process. A set of the ID and the order information stored on the RAM is called selection intiation.
- FIG. 6 illustrates how a print command is selected.
- the selected print command is displayed with the color of the characters and the background color reversed (in reverse video). Since the print command responsive to ID “764” is selected, the controller 11 stores on the RAM the selection information that associates ID “764” with the order information. When the user performs an operation to select the selected print command again, the selection is canceled. More specifically, the controller 11 causes the appearance of the print command to revert back to the appearance before the selection, and deletes the selection information responsive to the print command from the RAM.
- the controller 11 determines whether a search command is present. More specifically, a text box located on the left hand side above the list (the text box “ENTER JOB NAME”) is a partition that receives the search criteria. If the search criteria are input and a “DETAILED SEARCH” button is pressed, the controller 11 determines that the search command has been issued, and receives the setting of the search criteria (an example of the second receiving unit 102 ). If the search command has been issued (yes branch from step S 03 ), the controller 11 proceeds to step S 04 . If the search command has not been issued (no branch from step S 03 ), the controller 11 returns to step S 02 .
- the controller 11 performs the search and stores the list indicating the search results. More specifically, the controller 11 extracts from the spooler the print command that satisfies the set search criteria, generates the list including the extracted print commands, and stores the generated list on the memory 12 . Each print command included in the list is associated with a selection state flag. The initial value of the selection state flag is “0”. The selection state flag of “0” indicates that the print command is not selected.
- the controller 11 determines whether the determination of all IDs stored on the RAM has been completed. More specifically, using a counter, the controller 11 counts the number of determination operations performed in step S 07 after the start of the list displaying process. The controller 11 compares the count value with the number of pieces of selected information stored on the RAN. If the count value reaches the number of pieces of selected information, the controller 11 determines that the determination of all the IDs stored on the RAM has been completed. If the determination of all the IDs stored on the RAM has been completed (yes from step S 05 ), the controller 11 returns to step S 01 . If the determination of all the IDs stored on the RAM has not been completed (no branch from step S 05 ), the controller 11 proceeds to step S 06 .
- the controller 11 reads the IDs stored on the RAM one by one. More specifically, the controller 11 reads the ID corresponding to the order information equal to (count value+1) from the RAM.
- the controller 11 determines whether the ID is included in the list of search results. More specifically, if the ID read in step S 06 is included in the list generated in step S 04 , the controller 11 determines that the ID is included in the list of search results. If the ID is included in the list of search results (yes branch from step S 07 ), the controller 11 proceeds to step S 08 . If the ID is not included in the list of search results (no branch from step S 07 ), the controller 11 returns to step S 05 .
- the controller 11 sets the print command to be in a selected state. More specifically, the controller 11 rewrites as “1” the selection state flag associated with the ID that has been determined to be included in the list of search results in step S 07 ,
- the controller 11 locates the print command at the top of the list. More specifically, the controller 11 locates at the to of the list the print command corresponding to the ID that has been determined to be in the list of search results in step S 07 . Upon completing this operation, the controller 11 returns to step S 05 .
- step S 01 the controller 11 updates the display of the list (an example of the updating unit 103 )
- the controller 11 attaches an appearance, different from the appearance of the print command having a selection state flag of “0” to the print command having a selection state flag of “1”, and displays from the top of the list downward the print commands. Note that the number of print commands herein is equal to the number of rows the splay area has.
- FIG. 7 illustrates an example of an updated display of the list.
- the print command corresponding to ID “764” is selected step S 02 (see FIG. 6 ), and “5” is set as the search criteria in step S 03 .
- the print command having a job name “5” is extracted in step S 04 .
- plural print commands including “5” as a job name are selected. If plural print commands satisfying the search criteria are extracted, the extracted print commands are arranged in the ascending order of the reception start time and date. If there are plural print commands having the same time and date, those print commands are arranged in the ascending order of the IDs.
- step S 07 If the controller 11 determines in step S 07 that ID “764” is included in the list of search results, the controller 11 rewrites the selection state flag related to ID “764” as “1” in step S 08 , and locates the print command corresponding to ID “764” at the top of the list in step S 09 .
- the controller 11 updates the display of the list in step S 01 (see FIG. 7 ).
- the print command corresponding to ID “764” is displayed in reverse video in the same way as in FIG. 6 .
- an appearance different from reverse video may be used. For example, characters may be displayed in bold font, or the background color may be changed. If a print command is selected before the list is updated, the display of the list is simply updated such that the state of the selected print command is maintained.
- the display of the list is updated such that the state of the selected item is maintained on the list representing the search results obtained under the search criteria.
- the exemplary embodiment may be modified as described below. Plural modifications may be combined.
- the selected print command is located at the top of the list. Even if the list is scrolled, the selected print command may remain displayed. For example, if the list s scrolled, the controller 11 shifts downward plural listed print commands displayed one by one in raw, and locates the selected print command at the top of the display area. Alternatively, the selected print command may be located at the center row or at the lowermost row of the display area.
- the selected print command may be located at the top of the list.
- the display area may be determined such that the selected print command comes to the top of the list with an arrangement position of the search results maintained.
- the arrangement position of the search results obtained under new search criteria which the selected print command satisfies is maintained, for example, by displaying the search results such that the “reception start time and date” serving as a list item is located in a descending order.
- the user may move the display area using a scroll bar. If the search results satisfying the search criteria fall within the display area of the list, the selected print command does not necessarily have to be located at the top of the list as long as the appearance thereof is different from that of the other print commands in the search results.
- the ID of the selected print command is stored on the RAM after associating the ID with the order information indicating the order according to which that ID is selected after the start of the list displaying process (see step S 02 ).
- the print command may be located in accordance with the order information.
- plural print commands are arranged in accordance with the order of selection if the plural print commands are selected.
- a print command having the latest selection order from among the plural selected print commands is located at the top of the display area.
- the remaining print commands may be arranged in the order of lateness. In this arrangement, the item that is selected later is displayed with a higher priority.
- the ID of the selected print command is associated with the order information and then stored on the RAM as the selection information.
- the stored selection information may be deleted after the operation in step S 01 or step S 07 .
- the list of the print commands stored on the spooler serves as an example of the list that is a target of the list displaying process.
- the lists serving as the target of the list displaying process may include any list output by the information processing apparatus.
- the lists may include a list of the print commands executed by the printer 2 , or a list of logs of processes performed by the print server 1 .
- the selected print command is displayed in reverse video.
- the selected print command may have different color, different font, different size, or different thickness from the unselected print command.
- the selected print command may be tagged with a symbol, text, or graphics, each indicating that that print command has been selected.
